Wickes 'Red Pencil' prices
As you may have seen from the TV ads, Wickes are offering 1,000's of
price cuts under the 'Red Pencil Prices' campaign. One slight snag - they haven't reduced the price of...... Red Pencils :-) http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/500080 -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

A whole 40p off an £8.99 saw? I could hardly contain my indifference. |
